Welcome to hrv’s documentation!

hrv is a simple Python module that brings the most widely used techniques to extract information about cardiac autonomic functions through RRi series and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analyses without losing the Power and Flexibility of a native Python object.

In other words, the hrv module eases the manipulation, inspection, pre-processing, visualization, and analyses of HRV-related information. Additionally, it is written with idiomatic code and tries to implement the API of a built-in object, which might make it intuitive for Python users.
